Wordle.net
Yes, it's a pictorial representation of my essay about the right to vote in Australia! (I shouldn't be so excited by the concept, but that's just one of the sad things about my life...)
It's all part of the Internetty genius of Wordle.net - it works best when you use a large amount of text. My family spent a happy half hour converting various texts about proportional representation and Australian electoral law. Because that's just the way we bond as a family...
For all you library larcenists out there...
This is section 525 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW):
525 Stealing or damaging books and other things in public library and other places
Whosoever steals, or removes, secretes, or damages with intent to steal, any book, print, manuscript, or other article, or any part thereof, kept for the purposes of reference, or exhibition, or of art, science, or literature, in any public library, or in any building belonging to the Queen, or to any university or college, or a council (within the meaning of the Local Government Act 1993), shall, on conviction by a Local Court, be liable to imprisonment for one year, and to pay a fine of 10 penalty units in addition to a fine equal to four times the value of the article stolen, or intended to have been stolen.
So, tell me, which of you has never nicked a library book?
